We could be witnessing reality TV...

JACK BE SCHTICK: We could be witnessing reality TV history.

Jack Osbourne is starring in two reality series at the same time, Variety reports. While "The Osbournes" begins its third season in the fall, First Brat Jack is set to star in "Union Jack," his own reality series on Britain's Channel 4.

The show features Osbourne doing what he does best: party-hopping, rubbing elbows with A-listers and mouthing off. Channel 4 already broadcasts "Osbournes" reruns.

Guess there really are some people out there who can't get enough Jack.

ON EDGE: Georgia police are looking for Kyle Norman of the platinum-selling R&B group Jagged Edge, after they said a search of his home Thursday morning turned up two guns, 13 pounds of marijuana and about $6,000. They arrested seven people inside the house but could not find Norman, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"We want him to know that we are looking for him," said sheriff's spokeswoman Mikki Jones.

Now he knows.

Jagged Edge has three platinum albums and is famous for the hit "Where the Party At." The group's next album, "Hard," is due out in October.

ON TRACK WITH THE KING? Pharrell Williams, half of the chart-topping producing duo The Neptunes, has laid down hit tracks for Britney Spears, Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake. But what he really wants is a piece of the King of Pop.

Williams says he wants to produce a song for none other than Michael Jackson--who attended a 45th birthday bash in Los Angeles over the weekend--and document the whole thing on MTV.

"We just gotta do it, man," he says. "It's something me and Carson [Daly] were talking about the other day. We gotta do some songs with Michael but then show it on MTV every second of the way."

X-MEN APART? The director is wavering, and there's no guarantee the bona fide star will return, but, dammit, "XXX2" will be made.

That's according to Revolution Studios, which tasted success when the first movie became a breakout hit. But now Rob Cohen, who directed the first film, is considering directing a project called "Stealth" instead of the second "XXX," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Not only that, but the studio hasn't mentioned whether star Vin Diesel is coming back for the second installment, either.

A potentially devastating loss, we know. Feel free to express your grief in a way that's comfortable for you.

MASTER OF HIS DOMAIN: Forget diabolical geniuses--James Bond was having a hard enough time with a cybersquatter.

But in the end, a United Nations panel ruled that Pierce Brosnan is the rightful owner of www.piercebrosnan.com.

The Internet domain name had been registered to Alberta Hot Rods of Alberta, Canada. Brosnan's lawyers said Alberta Hot Rods is linked to Jeff Burgar, whom they called a "notorious cybersquatter," known for buying up celebrity-themed URLs in hopes of selling them to stars for big bucks.

Wedding bells

Fashion maven Stella McCartney (yes, she's Paul's daughter) married her publisher boyfriend over the weekend in a small, private ceremony in the Scottish countryside, according to local newspaper reports.

She and Alasdhair Willis reportedly are now wife and husband, although the couple has yet to issue any public confirmation of the marriage. Guests reportedly included Madonna, Liv Tyler, Kate Moss and Coldplay singer Chris Martin, as well as Paul McCartney and his wife, Heather Mills.

Stella began designing clothes for Christian Lacroix as a teenager before becoming chief designer at French couture house Chloe in 1997 and later leaving for the Gucci Group, where she developed her own label under her name.

SPLIT IT: Now that Miramax has decided to split Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill" into two movies, they'll have to live with paying twice the costs.

The studio is in the messy process of deciding how to pay the movies' stars--Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, Michael Madsen, Vivica A. Fox and Darryl Hannah, to name a few--for "Vol. 2." Miramax had finalized their contracts well before deciding to split the feature in half, Variety reports. Now they must pay more for the decision.

Thurman looks to bag the biggest raise, but the other actors might not get paid at all since their characters don't live to see the second act.
